The error message pretty much says it all: the URI you are attempting to fetch contains an illegal character at index 58. I also get the exception with your URL:
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
String s = "https://graph.facebook.com/me?access_token=593172238640599|e2a5e8bb8625b56358fe6219.1-530295086|zt7TYKmSF4e3WLWbF8jc7_P8MK8";
URI uri = new URI(s);
}
throws:
Exception in thread "main" java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in query at index 58: https://graph.facebook.com/me?access_token=593172238640599|e2a5e8bb8625b56358fe6219.1-530295086|zt7TYKmSF4e3WLWbF8jc7_P8MK8 at java.net.URI$Parser.fail(URI.java:2809) at java.net.URI$Parser.checkChars(URI.java:2982) at java.net.URI$Parser.parseHierarchical(URI.java:3072) at java.net.URI$Parser.parse(URI.java:3014) at java.net.URI.(URI.java:578)
The character at position 58 is the "|" character. You need to URL encode this character (and its other occurances).

The issue is that it works fine on a stand alone application, but it is not working on Google Appengine for java.

Could it be the length? Is there limitation on the length of the URL you can fitch using google appneing for java.

@user458336 - can you paste the URL?
user458336
It is working in a standard web application, and in a java application, this error appears just when deploying it the Google AppEngin4java, development environment. That's why I don't think it is related to the content of the url!

It's throwing a URISyntaxException. There's a problem with the URL, even if it works on your system (are the versions of java the same on GAE??). Paste your url.
